LANCASTER, Pa. - Teresa Heinz Kerry said Wednesday that "only an idiot" would fail to support her husband's health care plan."Of course, there are idiots," Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, told the (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal for Thursday's editions.
Kerry's proposal includes health care subsidies for children, the unemployed, small companies and more; and government assistance to insurers and employers that keep premiums for workers down.
If Kerry is elected, Heinz Kerry predicted that opponents of his health care plan would be voted out of office. "Only an idiot wouldn't like this," she said.
Heinz Kerry stumped in Lancaster, Harrisburg and York on Wednesday, the third day of a four-day campaign swing Pennsylvania.
"I don't have to sell it - the people want it," Heinz Kerry said of the health plan. "The common man doesn't look at me as some rich witch. I talk about what I see. It has always been so. You judge people not by their pocketbook but by their actions. Walk the walk."

John Kerry- some selected, informative links...
>walk the walk<
OK, tis the walk of a socialist who would undermine the effectiveness of the Healthcare system in the U.S.
Tis the walk of someone too stupid to recognize the difference.
Tis the walk of a family that paid 12% income tax last year, while complaining that someone making 4% of their income should pay 38% tax.
Anyone who's not rich and thinks that socialized medicine is a dandy idea should be made to spend some time in a country that has it.
I'm a common woman, HS educated, middle income...you terazor are a RICH SNOBBY B trying to shove socialism down my throat without any sugar coating!
Tereeza...Who are you calling an idiot? Shove it, lady.
Ain't she great? bwhahahahaha
Just curious. does every employee of Heinz get a gold plated deluxe health plan? Including the pickers? Certainly Madame Tereza could afford such for her serfs.
After this comment, they'll probably keep her locked away for another 30 days while they adjust her meds.
Fertilizer?
What is the female equivalent of a gigolo?
What are the odds of a woman from Africa marrying TWO U.S.Senators. The first got her the money, the second to get her the power! This woman is very DANGEROUS. I hope someone is watching for large transfers to Kerry's Kingdom!
Had America had followed his lead 10 years ago, President Clinton might not have been able to get his diagnosis and surgery appointment so quickly. Instead of waiting overnight for an appointment with a cardiologist, he might have had to wait the 3.4 weeks Canadians do. Instead of waiting three days for quadruple bypass surgery, he might have had to wait more than two weeks.
Instead of receiving care from what Sen. Clinton called "one of the great hospitals in the world," President Clinton might be looking for a safety valve.
Since the Clinton health plan was defeated, untold patients have been aided because America's health-care system, whatever its faults, was not subjected to the shortages and waiting lines that plague other nations.
But the future is less certain. Sen. John F. Kerry is aggressively promoting his $1 trillion health-care plan, which borrows heavily from the Clinton plan. Kerry too seems to believe that having government issue a paper guarantee of "coverage" is the same thing as having access to medical care.
Well, Teresa can take her Billion dollars and buy health insurance for every uninsured American child for the next 10 years, and still have enough money left over that she could never spend it all. Would that qualify as "Walking the walk"?
The "common man"? That pretty much sums up the attitude of the Kerry clan about their aristocratic status relative to the rest of the peasant rabble in the country, doesn't it?
I think john is referring to a hoe although she can certainly shovel a lot of manure when she plows into the political field.
I never thought of the TWO Senator bit. It is revealing AND a door....Wonder how she benefitted?
Talk about two Americas. Under Kerry's plan folks with money will be able to get decent care, and folks without enough money will be forced into this system.
